Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of New Albany-Plain Local, Local School District has identified 6 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
|
|
Hiring a Secret Bureaucrat
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 16, 2026
|
The Board has buried all new hires and staff changes in a single PDF labeled 'Personnel.' This is a common tactic to hire ideological positions like a DEI officer without public scrutiny. Parents have a right to know who is being hired with their tax dollars before the vote.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Michael Sawyers at sawyers.1@napls.us: 'I demand that all new positions and job descriptions in the Personnel.pdf for the March 16 meeting be publicly presented and justified before any vote is taken. No secret hires.'
|
💰 Cost: Potential Six-Figure Activist Salary
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Opening the Door to Federal Meddling
|
📅 First Reading Mar 16, 2026
|
The Board is voting on Policy 6325, which sets the rules for accepting federal grants. These grants often come with ideological strings, forcing districts to adopt DEI initiatives or share student data. This policy could give the administration a blank check to accept money that undermines local control.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review '6325 - PROCUREMENT - FEDERAL GRANTS_FUNDS.pdf' in the official agenda. Then email Board President Debra Kalinosky via the district at (614) 855-2040: 'Table the vote on Policy 6325 until the public can review it for loopholes that allow federal overreach.'
|
💰 Cost: Loss of Local Control
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Secret Contracts Hidden in 'General Business'
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 16, 2026
|
Under 'General Business,' the board has attached a vague PDF with no description. This could contain contracts for controversial consultants, data-mining software, or SEL curriculum. Hiding significant financial commitments this way is a major transparency failure and must be challenged.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Debra Kalinosky at (614) 855-2040: 'I demand that any contracts hidden in the 'General Business' PDF be pulled out for a separate discussion and roll-call vote on March 16. No blank checks.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Replacing Discipline with 'Restorative Justice'
|
📅 First Reading Mar 16, 2026
|
A new 'School Safety' policy (8400) is up for a first reading. These policies often serve as a trojan horse to replace traditional discipline with 'Restorative Justice,' which keeps disruptive students in the classroom. This can compromise the safety of all students under the guise of equity.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review 'PO 8400 - SCHOOL SAFETY (1).pdf' in the official agenda. Email the Superintendent: 'Does Policy 8400 weaken disciplinary consequences for disruptive behavior? Parents want safe schools, not social experiments.'
|
💰 Cost: Compromised Classroom Safety
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
$9,000 for Undisclosed Author Visits
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 16, 2026
|
The Board is accepting a $9,000 donation for 'Author Visits.' While this sounds nice, it's a common way to bring ideological activists into schools to promote concepts like gender identity or critical race theory. The district must disclose who these authors are before accepting the money.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent Michael Sawyers at sawyers.1@napls.us: 'Regarding the $9,000 donation for author visits, please provide a list of the proposed authors and their topics before the Board votes to accept the funds on March 16.'
|
💰 Cost: $9,000 (Ideological Access)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Taking 'Community Action' Money from META
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 16, 2026
|
The district is accepting a '$21,880 META Community Action Grant.' 'Community Action' is often a code word for political activism. It is critical to know what strings are attached to this money from a Big Tech giant and what 'action' our students will be encouraged to take.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Treasurer Rebecca Jenkins via the district office at (614) 855-2040: 'What are the specific requirements and deliverables for the META Community Action Grant being approved on March 16? Provide the grant application.'
|
💰 Cost: $21,880 (Strings Attached)
